I am a little alarmed at how difficult it still is to make phone calls. I should have called the van comp today... yesterday even... but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I have such anxiety and phobia about it.

I am taking an anti-inflammitory painkiller, I was actually worried that I was taking too much, but when I saw the doctor he actually prescribed that I take more than I was taking and that I take it regularly--not just when I feel I need it--because of its anti-inflammitory properties.

Sometimes it just don't help though... this morning I felt OK but instead of accomplishing something around the house I went back to bed. And then in the afternoon/evening I was just too overall achy to do anything. It is pretty bad now as well. And it has been affecting my appetite, I've got all food in the house now but nothing is appealing. This morning, when I had lower pain, I was hungry for another grilled cheese and made myself one... this evening just nothing seems appealing. I'm going down to find something now just so I eat something else today.

And PS your post is helpful SS... you had good advice plus the hug felt good I have been really dying tonight to have someone come over and give me a hug... there is no one I can call for that at any time.
